1 QB Dynasty Startup First Round Part 2

Dynasty / By /

Intro With the dynasty offseason in full swing, I wanted to give everyone a quick look into my dynasty startup first-round. I know the top players aren’t usually controversial, but I believe it’s essential to understand why particular players carry such a high dynasty value. Also, I won’t include any 2021 rookie players or picks. I don’t see a Saquon Barkley-type prospect that could crack the first round of startups this year, at least not without a perfect landing spot and draft capital.  I covered the first six players in a previous article, and now it’s time to cover the second six players here. I wanted to give each player enough space, and I didn’t want to squeeze all 12 into one article. Here’s a quick reminder of the full top-12. Let’s jump back in! The Top 12 Rank   Player Position   Team 1 Christian McCaffrey   RB Carolina Panthers 2 Jonathan Taylor RB Indianapolis Colts 3 Justin Jefferson WR Minnesota Vikings 4 Saquon Barkley RB New York Giants 5 D.K. Metcalf WR Seattle Seahawks 6 A.J.

Why Veterans Key Champs

Dynasty / By /

In dynasty leagues, there’s always a delicate balance that owners must forge between dynasty value and winning championships. In the end, the goal is to win the most championships possible, as quickly as possible. However, sometimes, dynasty owners need to rebuild and trade away their veterans to return to contending status.

There’s nothing wrong with that approach, as I detailed in an article guiding dynasty owners in determining whether they’re contenders or not. Taking a mild step backward to take a big step forward is a healthy decision and often tough to make. With that said, I want to move away from individual dynasty teams and look more closely at how two specific groups of players have performed over time. It’s time for an in-depth breakdown of what rookies and older veterans do for your roster.

A Redraft Journey: Melvin Gordon

All Access / By /

In April, I started writing a series focusing on one player at a time, called “A Redraft Journey.” Like my “Dead to Me” series, I take a deep dive into a single player, breaking down their entire career in redraft fantasy football. However, unlike that series, this set of articles is meant to be more positively toned. I’m excited to get back to writing it, and I’m returning with a full breakdown of Melvin Gordon. He’s had an exciting roller-coaster ride both in the NFL and for fantasy owners, so let’s jump into it!
